“…In both developed and developing countries, potato is regarded as a staple food due to its role in fighting against malnutrition, since potato tubers are known sources of carbohydrates, minerals, vitamins, proteins and antioxidant compounds such as carotenoids and phenolics (Çalışkan et al., 2010). Potatoes have less fat content and are rich in several micronutrients, particularly vitamin C (84–145 mg/100 g dry weight basis) when consumed with its skin.…”

Tuber quality is the subject of great interest among the processing industry and consumers worldwide. Being a polygenic trait, its enhancement requires a systematic understanding of their genetic complexity. Molecular genetics offered valuable solutions to the challenging endeavours of slow genetic gains in conventional potato breeding. With the advent of linkage maps, molecular markers and availability of next‐generation sequencing (NGS) platforms, the plant breeding programmes worldwide have achieved faster genetic gain due to marker‐assisted selection (MAS). Linkage mapping detects QTLs in biparental population; alternatively, genomic and phenotypic differences can be identified by extensive genotyping and phenotyping of a germplasm panel depicting natural biological diversity to reveal QTLs, in other words, marker‐trait associations. Due to advancements in the fields of genome sequencing and bioinformatics, researchers have preferred to use the genome‐wide association mapping (GWAS) method for detecting QTLs due to its higher resolution. In potato, GWAS identified causative allele(s)/loci and provides reliable platform for the development of diagnostic SNP markers by employing Infinium SolCAP SNP array. Later, KASP validation markers can be developed to be used as selection markers in order to bred improved cultivars. The current review focuses on recently used approaches for genetic analyses (linkage mapping or association mapping) regarding potato tuber quality traits, provides comprehensive knowledge about breeding, genetic gain, basic genetic and statistical GWAS concepts and subsequently highlights the genetic discoveries using GWAS and KASP markers.

Moths and Caterpillars

Insects as pests destroy annually an estimated 18–20% of the crop production worldwide. Caterpillars, the larval stage of moths, are the major pests of agricultural products owing to their voracious feeding habits. In the past few decades, the potent methods of insect control, such as insecticides and Bt toxins, have been constrained as a result of health hazards, environmental issues, and development of resistance, after their prolonged application. Thus, there is need to find alternative options to improve plant protection strategies. Recently, RNA interference (RNAi), the post-transcriptional gene-silencing mechanism, has emerged as one of such a novel, sustainable, and environment friendly approaches for insect management and crop protection. RNAi technology relies on selection of a vital insect pest target gene and its expression as a double stranded RNA or stem-loop RNA molecule, which is recognized by the host RNAi machinery and processed into small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) or microRNAs (miRNAs). The siRNA/miRNA along with the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) binds to the complimentary mRNA and induce gene silencing at post-transcriptional level. With effective target-gene selection and transgenic plants expressing these precursor RNA molecules, insect pests of various crops have been efficiently managed. In this chapter, we discuss the basic mechanism of RNAi and its application in controlling lepidopteran pests of important crop plants.

“…Although Turkey has the conditions suitable for potato cultivation at all times of the year (in terms of agricultural lands and climate), it lacks the native varieties that can be used commercially. Therefore, many previous studies emphasized the problems of not having a native variety (Öztürk et al, 2008;Çalışkan et al, 2010;Şanlı & Kardoğan, 2012). Selecting the right variety for the right region is a very important parameter, as well as taking many measures to grow a high yielding and quality potato.…”

This study was carried out in 2018 to examine the yield and yield components of 8 potato genotypes (Kanursu, Aşkar, Çamlı, Akbulut, Yukarıkızı, Incili, Erikdibi, and Nisantası) and 2 potato varieties (Agria and Lady Olympia) procured in the ecological conditions of Bayburt, Turkey. The experimental work was conducted in trial ground at the Experimental Station of the University of Bayburt (Turkey). The research was designed in random blocks with three replications. As a result of the study, the highest number of stems per plant (6.7), tuber yield per hectare (15.19 tons), number of tubers per plant (8.47), and tuber yield per plant (357.01 g) were found to be in the genotype Akbulut; the highest ratio of large tuber (28.27%) in the genotype Konursu; and the highest ratio of medium tuber (85.22%) in the genotype Çamlıkoz. This study; Although the best potato yield was obtained from the Akbulut genotype on a regional basis, these data are a pioneer for other future studies to determine the cultivar candidates needed in the development of domestic potato cultivars.
